I see a person suffering from depression before finally taking his or her own life. I think that's what he means by "sometimes goodbye's the only way". The person comitting suicide sees their death as the only way out. "The sun will set for you", i think, is a refrence to how the sunset is the end of the day, thus a sunset would be the end of their life. I think the line "sometimes solutions aren't so simple" is saying that the simple solution to depression is just take some medicine and don't feel sad anymore, but in reality, the illness isn't that simple to conquer. I get the idea that it wasn't this person's first attempt at suicide with "In cards and flowers on your window, your friends all plead with you to stay." However, no matter what the meaning of the song is, it's beautiful. the end | Reviewer: bstud | 12/2/07 this song (and video) is about the end, the end to what is for you to figure out, life, mankind, hope.......? i personally believe its about the end of a life, a shadow is darkness, darkness is death. a setting sun is the end is the end of a day/life. the whole song seems to be about someone giving up and closing out everyone, closings and locking windows, friends wanting you around, but you dont want to be, (goodbye is the only way) wow thats my long interperations. And this is why Linkin Park ROCKS! | Reviewer: Muse | 10/23/07 I have been a fan of theirs since they first came out, YEARS ago. And this song, right here, along with What I've Done, explains to everyone why this group so totally rocks. With just a few lyrics (and if you look, there really isn't much to this song) they paint the most beautifully bittersweet image in your mind and takes you away and loses in your thoughts. Name me ONE PERSON who hasn't listened to this song and not been reminded of SOMETHING bittersweet in your life: a death of someone close to you, moving, losing friends... something. God, I love this group!! The song's meaning | Reviewer: Someone ^^ | 8/28/07 I think Rad has gotten it. I like your view of the songs meaning. ^^ Thanks for analysing it for us. XD The song's meaning | Reviewer: Rad | 8/26/07 Well for you that didn't seem to understand the lyrics, this is how I see it.(I'll go mostly by ph. but sometimes line by line{ I'm going to put the chorus at the end}) So this person the song is about seems sick or in the hospital, the singer had closed the blinds so it's only them, or because he feels so down that watching even just the sun out side would be to cheerful. So assuming the person is sick with something like cancer where they think they have a solution like sugery isn't always the best choice and now it means they may have to say goodbye. The sick person obviously has people who hope and pray that they will get better, thus them "asking them[you] to stay", but it's obvious that this person wont live so it's the begining of a new life without them and the singer must truely say goodbye. Chorus: The singer feels that this person is so special or so powerful that even the sun, which bows to no one(figuratively) will set just for them, as the shadows embrace the world mourning for this person. well that's just my opinion sorry it sounds kinda sappy but that's what I see it as.

Shadow of the Day | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/21/07 This song is in the Joshua Tree album and is called "With or Without you". It is a copy from beginnig to end. Sahdow of the Day | Reviewer: Maira | 8/10/07 I so freakin totally agree that this song was U2 inspired in some way. Chester sings the chorus with the passion that has the power to hypnotize. I absolutely love this song!!! Awesome song | Reviewer: Spencer | 7/27/07 I like how it builds up after the chorus each time and I want it to keep going at the end. But I guess goodbye's the only way :P strange | Reviewer: it's me | 7/14/07 strange lyrics, i don't totally get this... he sings the sun will set for you, but sometimes goodbye is the only way...contradictory that is though beautifully sung Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5
